"Not to mention the factory's loan liabilities in the bank, the workers' wages, and the workers' working attitude after the transition from state-owned enterprises to private enterprises, all of which need to be solved by the acquirer personally and vigorously reformed. Success will save the company, but failure will
Not a penny is left.”
Tie Zhengshuo finished speaking in one breath and then fell into silence.
He knew about the aging equipment of the cannery, years of losses, and bank debts. However, after all, he had always been powerless in a state-owned factory. Now all the contradictions broke out at the same time, which was far beyond his expectation. He really had no way to solve it.
.
"Isn't there any benefit?"
Cao Xinmin didn't believe that as a businessman, Liu Fengxia only wanted to pick up the mess.
"The benefits... at least there are no benefits now. The production of the cannery requires a supply of fresh fruits. The price of fruits has been rising in recent years. Growing it yourself is laborious and expensive. This is also the main reason why the cannery's benefits are decreasing year by year until it is losing money.
Of course, the corruption and inaction of the Quanjin family is also one of the reasons."
When the Quan Jin family is mentioned, Tie Zhengshuo becomes so angry that his teeth itch with hatred!
He was very good to Quanjin's family and the cannery, helping him get orders and make loans. Unexpectedly, when something happened, this kid actually ran away and left such a shabby business to himself.
"No good..."
At this time, Cao Xinmin was even more puzzled. He glanced at Liu Fengxia, who was still smiling calmly, and fell into silence. After a while, he regained his composure: "Deputy County Magistrate Tie, Mr. Liu now wants to fully acquire the cannery.
Look, is there any problem?"
"Do you really want to buy it outright?"
Although Tie Zhengshuo had already made a guess in his mind, after hearing Cao Xinmin's affirmative reply, he still couldn't hold back and shouted in surprise.
"Don't make a fuss. The cannery is a state-owned enterprise, and individual acquisitions are mutually beneficial. Although the situation in the cannery is a bit chaotic now, it is a state-owned enterprise after all. No matter when the time comes, the county government will give vigorous support
I support it, don’t you think so, Deputy County Magistrate Tie?”
Cao Xinmin smiled, but there was obviously something behind his words.
Tie Zhengshuo was not a fool. He immediately understood that Secretary Cao had secretly agreed to Liu Fengxia's purchase of the cannery, but he was also secretly reminding him that it was time to show off his official voice, so as to save the cannery for the county.
losses to a minimum.
"Deputy County Magistrate Tie, I'm not too clear about the details of the company. Please talk to Mr. Liu. Since Mr. Liu wants to acquire the cannery, of course we must support it."
"Secretary Cao is right, I understand."
Tie Zhengshuo turned to look at Liu Fengxia. If he could really get rid of the hot potato of the cannery, it would be a good thing for him, County Magistrate Chen and Secretary Cao. He was smiling in his heart, but he still held back on his face.
Look serious.
"Mr. Liu, you also know that the cannery is a state-owned enterprise, so the acquisition requirements are more stringent than the mutual mergers and acquisitions between your private companies."
"yes."
Seeing Tie Zhengshuo start to speak in an official tone, Liu Fengxia smiled slightly, knowing that the topic was about to enter.
"You have also heard the conversation I had with Secretary Cao just now. If you want to acquire the cannery, you must bear all the bank debts of the cannery and the wages of the workers."
"Can."
Liu Fengxia nodded in agreement.
"The other thing is, because of the special nature of state-owned enterprises, you can't lay off employees as arbitrarily as private companies."
"Well, Deputy County Magistrate Tie, are you a bit difficult to do? The market economy emphasizes survival of the fittest. Employees in private enterprises naturally have the ability to be promoted and the weak to be eliminated. I can't do it day after day, year after year.
Are you going to support those lazy people who just get paid and don’t work?”
"you……"
Liu Fengxia's words contained insinuations, which made Tie Zhengshuo's ears irritated, but he had to admit it!
Indeed, a large number of employees in state-owned enterprises feel that they have an iron job, so they are lazy and do nothing. They procrastinate when working hours can be delayed, and are more active than anyone else during holidays. This is also one of the reasons for the decline of many state-owned enterprises.
"What Mr. Liu said makes sense. Private enterprises do not have the financial support of the state like state-owned enterprises, but they should not keep some lazy worms."
Cao Xinmin nodded in agreement, but his expression was also troubled, "But Mr. Liu, you also need to be more considerate of our hard workers. Among workers, there are still many hardworking people, just like you?"
"Haha, Secretary Cao is really good at joking. If I was hard-working, how could I be expelled from the factory?"
Since they were talking about business acquisitions, Liu Fengxia also became a bit tough, even if it was a joke, it was also ridicule.
"Secretary Cao, Mr. Liu, let's all make concessions. All employees in the cannery must be retained for two years, and Mr. Liu cannot lay off employees within two years. How about this?"
Tie Zhengshuo is the deputy county magistrate in charge of state-owned enterprises. Naturally, he is aware of the laziness and sabotage of workers in state-owned enterprises. However, they agreed to Liu Fengxia's acquisition of the cannery because they wanted to get rid of the responsibility. If Liu Fengxia immediately carried out large-scale layoffs after the acquisition, then
Workers are still not allowed to continue making trouble?
"Two years?"
Liu Fengxia pretended to be embarrassed and pondered for a moment, "I can accept this, but the minimum wage of workers will be reduced. The reduced part will be determined by individual performance and will be paid in the form of bonuses."
"This is very reasonable."
Cao Xinmin nodded in agreement, and Tie Zhengshuo had no reason to continue to force it.
"There is another point, and it is also the most important point."
Tie Zhengshuo touched his stubble and said sternly: "The cannery is a state-owned enterprise. It is the result of a lot of money and hard work invested by the country and the county. Therefore, Mr. Liu's company has to pay a sum of money to the county, which is considered a right.
The county and city have an explanation."
"Secretary Cao, Deputy County Magistrate Tie, I, Liu Fengxia, are not stingy. If the cannery can create benefits, I will definitely give this money. Even if the cannery makes a loss, I can still afford this money without bank debt. But
What now? The cannery is not only losing money, but also has a lot of bank debts. Most importantly, workers’ wages are also a big expense. I’m afraid, I don’t have any extra money.”
"That's not possible. Without acquisition funds, I can't explain to the county and city."
Tie Zhengshuo's attitude was slightly tough and he shook his head vigorously.
"Deputy County Magistrate Tie, I don't understand something about the cannery. Even if it is a state-owned enterprise, how much benefit can it create for the county in a year? How much tax revenue? Or is it constantly eating away at the county's funds?
And bank loans? I can't guarantee anything else. If I acquire the cannery, at least I won't ask the county for a penny, and I will generate tax revenue for the county every year. Most importantly, those workers will definitely not continue
